[US President Donald Trump is deploying
2,000 National Guardsmen in Los Angeles
to deal with unrest over raids on
undocumented migrants.
His border czar, Tom Homan, told Fox News
on Saturday: "We are making Los Angeles safer."

The Californian city saw a second day
of unrest on Saturday as residents of
a predominantly Latino district clashed
with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
federal agents.
Tear gas and batons were used to disperse
crowds in the Paramount district.

As many as 118 arrests were made in LA
this week as a result of ICE operations,
including 44 on Friday.
California Governor Gavin Newsom
has condemned the raids as "cruel".

Newsom called Trump on Saturday
and they spoke for about 40 minutes,
a spokesperson for the governor
told CBS News, the BBC's media partner
in the US.
No other details of the conversation were
immediately known.

Paramount has calmed considerably but
clashes between protesters and
law enforcement are still happening.
The air is acrid - thick with tear gas
and smoke outside the Home Depot where
the protests first erupted.
LA county sheriffs are firing flash bangs
and tear gas every few minutes
trying to clear protesters away.
Neighbours and protesters say there
are migrants locked inside local
businesses afraid to come out.

Paramount's population is more
than 80% Hispanic.]

It will be like that over here before long …

We have three neighbours in their eighties and they all pity us and are thankful that they won’t be around when things kick off

How sad is that …rather than making the most if their later years they are worrying about their families

this was always going to happen, i actually thought it would happen around march. It is a conflict Trump wants because it allows him to implement martial law and then all bets are off, i certainly won't be going to california this year.

We know ICE are grabbing up people and deporting them, we know families are upset, but there is also a rent a mob element too, and they are playing right into Trumps hands.

There are several ways this could all go and none of them are pleasant

Trump asked Marc Esper to have protestors shot, during his first term. You expect me to believe a sociopath like that, wouldn't have someone killed to improve his chances of winning an election?

If it was real, trump would still be banging on about it to this day. Secret service don't allow time for photo-opps when trying to protect their charge. His ear was back to normal 2 days later.

London and other uk cities have changed so much in the last 5 years, I was beginning to see the start of it when I left London to a more peacefull lifestyle back home in my rural town.

California is a sovereign state separate from the Federal govt, but it can't ignore US immigration laws. Not that I'm saying this is what is happening, but can you imagine if any State lured in foreigners from other countries and started up an army? Imagine if multiple States did this with their illegal population? It's not completely out of the question when looking at the type of people involved, the kinds of things they support and some of the incendiary things they've said about the United States as a whole. So as much as I'm not terribly keen on federal involvement in most things, it makes sense why they are not keen to back down.

No I totally get that. I was wondering if what I heard was true… because then I was wondering about known criminals being able to just… stay and life a life of safety/luxury (or live somewhere better than the country anyway)

The sad thing is, is that this just makes people think all immigrants here are bad, when that’s just not the case at all. It’s such a complicated situation where people on all sides feel so passionate about their views and it brings out the worst of us

I think most adults can distinguish between a legal and an illegal immigrant just as they can between a customer and a shoplifter

No one has an issue with passport control, for example, when they fly?

[bots]

My take on all this is that there are hidden agendas being played out. No issue this complicated is ever straightforward. Billionaires that pretend to support Trumps immigration plan, don't support it, people that pretend to be on the side of illegal immigrants, aren't. The definition of a criminal is subject to change depending on the weather. It's all about money and power and people feathering their own nests, nothing more, nothing less

No worries. I was replying generally mostly because I'm just catching up to discussion. If I add more stuff that seems irrelevant, it's me adding more stuff to catch up :laugh:

FWIW, I don't know anyone here that thinks that "all immigrants" here are bad and I would be one of the first to hear that logic play out :laugh: ...

If they are not deporting, then we are allowing known criminals to stay because US criminal justice increasingly does what is called catch and release. Meaning, we don't really jail people for long periods of time (legal or not), we detain them until a judge can see them who then gives them a hand slap and puts them right back where they found them. Our jails are very full and understaffed, so that's one reason, but many places have voted in "activist judges" (nothing better to call them, sorry) that see the criminal needing protecting. Some years back they put $1 bonds for even violent crimes as an eff you to enforcement locally, including for one for assault on a police. Nothing special about that case, but I guess they wanted to show just how far they were willing to go. Normally they give out "free bond/PR bond like candies, but I'm guessing there was some kind of restriction to prevent it. Anyway, at least one of those went on to murder someone. (There have been many repeat offenders on PR bonds...)

When we had primaries, several judges were primaried out and replaced with people who probably think similarly which would be my guess, but aren't going to be as public now...

I feel terrible for her. It seems to have become her whole life now to try to avenge her daughter. That's not having any kind of peace.

Also the judge over her case is one of the $1 bond judges... great... so great...

Kim Ogg is an interesting figure to follow. I haven't kept up with every detail, but she would be "in the know" on so much, especially the internal politics. She's not a typical turncoat. She's a DA brought in under the LGBT banner (she's a lesbian, iirc). Well, she called out too much of what she saw of even people on her own side and so they came up with all sorts of problems and she lost her bid. She ended up campaigning for Ted Cruz, ironically enough. As far as I know, she's still a Democrat. It's hard to say what her motives are, maybe it's revenge, but she was at the helm and doing a lot of the things she's accusing others of. There were so many problems with her cases and she seemed to cherry things politically more than whether the case even had great prospects... just looks good in the newspaper kind of thing.

Conflicts with local Democratic elected officials

Kim Ogg investigated county elected officials and staffers several times after having public disagreements over issues such as bail reform, violence interruption program implementation, and her office's budget. Almost $1 million in taxpayer dollars were spent on legal fees for investigations that never resulted in criminal charges.[31] In August 2020, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis was investigated by her public corruption unit or the unauthorized storage of art, and was later cleared by a grand jury.[39][40] Ellis was a strong advocate for misdemeanor bail reform and critical of Ogg's late opposition to the settlement.[31][30]

A Harris County grand jury indicted three senior advisors to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo in April 2022 on two public corruption felonies each. The charges, each first-degree felonies, involved allegedly steering an $11 million COVID vaccine outreach campaign to a one-person consulting firm owned by a Democratic strategist. The Texas Rangers investigated the cases. All three charges were eventually dismissed after a review of the evidence by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. [41]

In December 2023, Kim Ogg was admonished by the local Democratic Party,[42] which alleged she "abused the power of her office to pursue personal vendettas against her political opponents, sided with Republicans to advance their extremist agenda, and stood in the way of fixing the broken criminal justice system."[43] She was defeated in the following March primary in a landslide.[44]

In August 2024, Ogg endorsed incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz against Democratic nominee and Congressman for Texas's 32nd congressional district Colin Allred.[45] She was later featured in an advertisement for Cruz.

In September 2024, Ogg appeared at a political gathering which urged citizens of the Greater Houston Area to "Vote Republican Judges."[46] Earlier that month, she appeared before the Kingwood Tea Party where she criticized several prominent Democrats for intentionally allowing crime to increase to conceal public corruption, adding that she believes those Democrats were allowing a "social experiment" that adversely impacts public safety.[47]

Fun fact, Kingwood is having one of those NoKing.org meetups to get graphic design materials and instructions to get paid protesting opportunities, probably. When we had our last protest and had to board up, NONE of the arrests were local. Not a single one. Anyway.

Kingwood is a very nice neighborhood and very affluent. Same for Sugarland. The only poor one that I saw on the map was over towards a Highway 290 Walmart. I know for a fact that a lot of immigrants are in that area and they sit around the local shops looking for jos, but it's right there between the poor and somewhat disgruntled part of Houston (a lot of Katrina refugees and other migrants live in or near this area) and also the richest. Much of the area and all of West Houston south of 290 below the NW section.

[The Slim Reaper]

My take on all this is that there are hidden agendas being played out. No issue this complicated is ever straightforward. Billionaires that pretend to support Trumps immigration plan, don't support it, people that pretend to be on the side of illegal immigrants, aren't. The definition of a criminal is subject to change depending on the weather. It's all about money and power and people feathering their own nests, nothing more, nothing less

I think the fact that the US has a gestapo these days, who straight up kidnap people off the streets, has naturally formed communities to step up and try to defend their friends and neighbours, is where the conflict originated.

The US is working hard to turn into a full autocracy, and obviously half the country doesn't want that so is resisting.

When I showed hub, he said another officer was pulling up the site on his work laptop as he was leaving his shift, so word is getting around. It's probable they're going to call up at least some people soon because it seems counter protests are planned... and that's where the stupid tends to happen.

The last time we had protests like this and had to board up anything, every single arrest from that was out of town. That surprised the staff, but I'm not sure why they're that shocked? This is a city that has a mentality that isn't prone to riot behavior. Most are hardworking here, including Hispanics, and don't think well of people who have any kind of time to use it to get involved in nonsense.

Haven't seen anything on Nextdoor. It doesn't allow political posts, but that's never stopped anyone with busy fingers in the past...

Abbott deploys Texas National Guard troops to San Antonio ahead of protests
https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/abbott-deploys-national-guard-san-antonio-protests-20371032.php

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed National Guard troops to San Antonio in advance of planned protests in the city against a Trump administration crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

The San Antonio Police Department said Chief William McManus contacted state officials Monday night seeking to confirm the presence of guardsmen in the city.

SAPD CHIEF: 'We are prepared for a peaceful demonstration, and if something goes South'

McManus "was able to confirm that Gov. Greg Abbott deployed National Guard troops to San Antonio,” SAPD Assistant Chief Jesse Salame told the San Antonio Express-News.

State officials provided no other details, Salame said.

Without mentioning San Antonio specifically, Abbott's press secretary, Andrew Mahaleris, told the Express-News that National Guard soldiers "are on standby in areas where mass demonstrations are planned in case they are needed.

"Peaceful protests are part of the fabric of our nation, but Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles," Mahaleris said in a statement Tuesday night. "Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be swiftly held accountable to the full extent of the law."

Even ÇNN are now admitting that the legal immigrants are now on the side of legal immigration and not illegal immigration. Just like Trump is.

Very likely always been the case, but now they've got no choice but to admit it, it seems.

it really doesn't matter. Trump can invoke the insurrection act whenever he chooses. Will the event on saturday pay hommage to the golden god child or will it be the start of a massacre of US citizens by their own armed forces.

Whitmire, Hidalgo reject federal aid for 'No Kings' protest in rare show of unity
https://www.chron.com/politics/article/houston-no-kings-protests-riots-20373972.php

In a rare display of unity, Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo have jointly declared that the city does not require federal assistance to manage the planned "No Kings" protests scheduled for this Saturday. Their stance comes in response to a letter from U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Houston), who characterized the demonstrations as potential "riots" and suggested federal intervention.

"But we're not other locations," he added. "I would really urge and allow all of us to stand united for peaceful demonstrations and do not let the disrupters infiltrate these groups that really have their own agenda ... in terms of responding to the letter—no, because it was not speaking to the city that we live in. It was just not relevant to our city and our society."

Numbers I saw were 26,000.

You will notice, that besides illegals amongst the crowd. It's mainly White communities in that crowd. Likely to be White communities that live away from certain communities. Probably live off wealthy parents, and it many cases, paid to be there.

That's because the Black communities are part of the communities where these illegals have been put into. Draining their resources away from them, that they require to prosper in life.
